I wonder what ratings Fujikoike's getting at the moment. Zenigata's got one hell of a bitchin' nose.

not... really. after the house of five leaves/tatami duo the shows have all been one good/one mediocre until this season with tsuritama/apollon. (no comment on moyashimon dorama) the quality of the shows haven't exactly gone up, the sales haven't improved, and the ratings have tanked. bad bad overall.
exactly two posts down:
Lupin : ﾌｼﾞｺ 1.7
then:

Aniplex might have had something to do with it. Also something about FujiTV wanting to expand the brand of the block to be more mainstream. They've talked about this at business forums. It's kinda iffy either way.

Guilty Crown and Black Rock Shooter disagree.
i feel bad for you that you can't appreciate a work of actual substance. :/

Fuji doesn't seem to have a clear strategy for noitamina these days. It's been all over the place since it became an hour - live action, super-otaku, now back to josei - and the brand identity has been very diluted. I wonder how much longer it'll last.

Hmmm, well ANN is a respectable webs- I can't say that with a straight face.
If noitaminA dies, I will be very sad.
it's okay, we'll always have NoiseIf noitaminA dies, I will be very sad.
Remember that Aniplex is the shadow of noitaminA. Pretty much every season, at least one of the shows are bankrolled by them. Sony Music also has a stake in all the music usually. This wasn't always the case, but now that it is, it is very much a part of the noitaminA identity, for better or for worse.
And even if we didn't have that, there's always Anime no Chikara to fall back on.
honestly, I thought about mentioning it but it had no good shows so no big loss, really

Well, if Aniplex is happy to keep noitamina running and sponsor a show like Tsuritama every now and then, I won't complain.
I imagine that the ratings for the block now only count tracked viewers who watch the entire block, and not those who choose to watch one or the other. I could be wrong though.

Utterly brilliant. Such a treat to watch from start to end with plenty of twists and turns, and girls being girls (and girls being guys) and enough dorama to last a life time and then some. There is really nothing like this kind of stuff now a days, the closest thing I've watched that is like this is the total ripoff Revolutionary Girl Utena which is merely an imposter and not even in the same league overall.
I wonder if theres anything else like it? I'd care to check it out if such a thing exists
But man they drove that knife in hard for a certain somebody here, even to the very end. I shed a tear.

Why did they cancel Noise anyway?
God damn it.
Funny, I think Noise has a better record than noitaminA anyway!
Occult Academy wasn't great, but I enjoyed it.
Because it wasn't making anyone any money at all?

You mean Zettai Ryouiki: The Show?
Wasn't Honey and Clover the best and highest rated noitaminA show?

Noise was a block, not a show.
Well, it couldn't be any worse than expanding noitaminA. They might as well have just stuck with the old 30 minute thing at that point.

Hakaba Kitarou is the highest rated noitamina show.
Nah, that honour goes to Hakaba Kitarou.
In terms of events it follows through pretty much, but stuff like proper pacing and feeling like a fully-realised world suffer in the anime, for my money (...which I only spent on the manga so nyaaaaah)

Hidamari Sketch 2
This episode was super-Shaft, with quick editing and Bakemonogatari-esque cutaways to text and ... other stuff (NSFW). Some crazy sound effects and attractive, simple compositions too. It was pretty successful and fun. So it was no surprise to see that it was storyboarded and directed by Tatsuya Oishi (director of Bakemonogatari), one of a handful of people at the studio who really understand how to use its trademark style.
If you're going to take the "We don't have a budget to draw cars" approach, these abstract lines of light to symbolize headlights is not a bad way to go about it.

Looks great. Did anyone license it? eg. Crunchyroll, Hulu.

Started out boring, but then cool stuff happened. 11th hour preparation while a triumphant remix of one of the main themes play is exactly what this show needed. Also, dat ending.

With the benefit of hindsight, I don't think the romantic stuff (a.k.a. dorama & misunderstandings) in the show is a big problem. I think it's due to a combination of Kaoru's commendable ability to keep pushing forward, along with the hurried pace with which the show has progressed through the manga. Not saying that there hasn't been some frustrating moments here and there, but take away the weekly wait between the episodes and the speed with which each issue gets resolved is very noticeable. Also, Yurika and Jun taking a sabbatical is the best thing ever.
It's still amusing that almost every significant (romantic) interaction between Kaoru and Ritsuko has happened between doors/walls, but then it goes ahead and resolves that issue anyways with a good bit of catharsis.
Sad to see that the show is almost over.
Also this was great.
